I’ve always had a deep passion for the outdoors and movement, and after having my two children—now 19 and 18—I decided to turn that passion into a full-time career. With more time and energy than ever to dedicate to my clients and students, I’m proud to now live and work in Wānaka, the place that first felt like “home” to me as a teenager. Many years, adventures, and qualifications later, we’re finally building our forever home here and putting down roots in a place that inspires me every day.
My journey in movement began with gymnastics, which evolved into competitive horse riding, snow skiing, and snowboarding. A nearly decade-long career flying with Air New Zealand gave me a global perspective, but it was back on the ground—at Pulse Fitness in Queenstown—that I began my journey into the fitness industry. I qualified as a Personal Trainer and soon became a certified Les Mills BodyBalance™ Instructor. After moving to Christchurch, I expanded into BodyPump™ and CXWORX™, deepening my fitness knowledge through Les Mills’ Personal Trainer modules.
I also spent seven incredible years with lululemon, working in roles from Ambassador to Assistant Manager. That experience supported my dream of becoming a Yoga Instructor, and in 2017 I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Grassroots Yoga in Christchurch, followed by 65 hours of Yin/Yang and Yoga Nidra training with Jo Pheein 2018. For the past two years, I’ve been teaching Yoga full-time, while also continuing to lead Group Fitness classes at Les Mills Christchurch.
What drives me in this ever-evolving industry is one thing: connection. I believe in truly connecting with people—whether in a group class or one-on-one—to help them move in ways that support their lifestyle and bring out the best version of themselves. My goal is always to teach in a way that’s safe, empowering, and grounded in longevity. I hope that the person you see on stage is the same person you meet off it.
I’m here to help you move well, feel great, and live fully—and I can’t wait to connect with you soon.
